1/ There is an entire industry of guys like this whose only goal is to front as "speaking truth to power" while they build a brand. "Social Justice"
*IS* the cool thing.
2/ I did an entire thread on how these sort of people monetize Social Justice on the one hand, and the turn around and accuse anyone who disagree with their ideas and methods of being in it for power and money.
3/ Books like "White Fragility" and "how to be antiracist" sell millions of copies...because that's where the money is and this guy thinks anyone who would say "this recent cultural view that progressive Christians are adopting is bad theology" is in it for money and power...
4/ Ibram Kendi wrote "how to be anti-Racist and had an ad deal with McDonalds.
Does Ameen think he's in it for the money?
5/ Nikole Hannah-Jones said "Capitalism is the motor thay drove slavery" and then, this is not a joke, did a lecture series on emancipation *SPONSORED BY SHELL OIL*
6/ Will @Ameen_HGA have anything to say about @deray calling himself a radical against a caputalist system....then giving a lecture sponsored by *WELLS FARGO*
7/ @Ameen_HGA and others accuse anyone who pushes back against wokeness and its underlying postmodernism of being motivated by money and power while every single one of these activists clout chase, sell books, sell advertising on podcasts and "build a brand."
Hypocrisy
8/ @Ameen_HGA wants you subscribe to his patreon because he is securing the bag by monetizing content about social justice while he accuses others of wrong motives.
Robin Diangelo would be proud. After all, she set the example by getting paid $20,000 per day to teach diversity
9/ Since @Ameen_HGA does theology as he accuses everyone he disagrees with of chasing money and power while the people on his side secure the bag... let me finish with this:
"My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of theives."

Delgado and Stefancic explicitly state "recently, critical Race Theory has expanded into other fields" and then give a list.
This is in "the Handbook of Critical Race Theory in Education." Published by Routledge.
@MeditarMestizo@NeilShenvi 2/
There is an entire history of CRT in education amd many books on the topic. Routledge, one of the leading academic publishers has no less than 5 large anthologies on this with material going back 20 years.
To imply CRT is primarily about race and the law is simply not true
@MeditarMestizo@NeilShenvi 3/
Your bio says you're writing a book o CRT for IVP academic. I expect you to be clear about what CRT is and does.
The New York Times helped destroy the life of a college freshman over a 3 second video while it's staff repeatedly tweet abhorent racial insults at white people.
For those asking, the latest jnfo I have is that Jeong still works for the NYT.
Again: THE POINT IS NOT TO CANCEL SARAH JEONG. DO NOT CANCEL HER.
The point is the NYT should not be pouring gas on the fire of cancel culture by giving it the oxygen of credibility...
Destroying a girls life with a snapchat video should not be national news. This is glorified Gossip. A story like that might be the subject of an editorial about how having a digital foot print reaching back into your teens carries consequences we don't know how to handle yet
1/ Jimmy Galligan got a 3 second video of a White 15 year old girl saying the N-word while singing along to a rap song. He posted the clip publicly 4 years later when the girl started university to maximize impact and ruin her life.
Guess what, he left his social media public...
2/ it turns out Jimmy Galligan, who ruined a girls life over a 4 year old snapchat video, made a video where he complains about being depressed in his freshman year of highschool because things he did in 6-8th grade followed him into highschool and he got judged for them.
3/ THE POINT HERE IS NOT TO CANCEL HIM. DO NOT CANCEL HIM
Jimmy Galligan knew how it felt to have things from his past follow him into his next stage of life and be to judged for them. Then he went and did that exact thing to someone else. However...
The goal of this exercise is to force you to overanalyze yourself and intellectually seperate your gender from yourself. They want you to treat your gender as though it is seperate from yourself so you begin to think about it as though it was a costume you wear...
The goal here is to get you to make gender a part of your thinking about the world, so that you start actively making gender an explicit part of how you think about the world rather then something you see as natural and typical. The hope is that in thinking about your gender...
As a social construct invented to oppress people. The assumptions of woke ideology are baked into the questions in that thread, so using them as a starting point to think about gender forces you to think in terms of the woke worldview that's built right into the questions.
